'Bunny Hop' Adopt-a-thon this weekend

Those interested in adopting a rabbit might want to think about hopping on over to the Oakville and Milton Humane Society (OMHS) this weekend.

With an abundance of bunnies — about three dozen in total, many of which were surrendered by a commercial breeding operation late last month — the OMHS will hold the ‘Bunny Hop’ Adopt-a-thon this Friday to Sunday.

Rabbit adoption fees will be reduced from $90 to $50 this weekend. The cost includes a health and behaviour check, while all available bunnies have already been spayed or neutered.

“Bunnies can be an excellent family pet,” said OMHS spokesperson Brenda Dushko. “They do need a safe enclosure to call home, but they love to exercise, play and with gentle handling will form a close bond with their families.”

Adoption hours are noon to 8 p.m. Friday and noon to 5 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.

The OMHS is located at 445 Cornwall Rd. in Oakville.
